Well it was my first paying job and have to say that im upset. The car hardly had any protection on it when i got it but still at the end i was left with swirls. Less than before but i just dont know why they didnt come out. I didnt take any pics of the swirls since i was too pissed off but anywhere here are the pics.



Wash

clay

IP orange pad

VM White pad

EX-P Black pad





The wheels were a pain in the ***. He tracks his car so there was brake dust that didnt come up untill i took the PC to it. hehe.

Beautiful cars, I love S4s, especially in that electric blue color. I get to drive a convertable regularly and they are really fun and quick machines. Ans as far as those wheels being a PITA to clean they should be kept in good shape by the owner considering how much HREs are.
 
Crazy Quattro- Looks good in the pics! If the owner is happy you did well enough on the marring. Audi clear is *hard*, so don't beat yourself up over it. Something like IP with a 6-6.5" pad on the PC just won't cut it in most cases so you can only do what you can do.



YIKES, I bet those HREs really *were* a pain!

Great work, but you should try the Menzerna line.

Try this setup :



Wash

Clay ( dont need know )

Menzerna PG and yellow pad

Menzerna IP and green pad

Menzerna FF and white/blue pad



Take some pictures in direct sunlight , to see all the swirls and imperfections.



Take a look at this thread , and see what menzerna and a pc can do :bow

It looks like he did try Menzerna IP with an orange pad already, and PG isn't the best with PC...it was probably just the need for a rotary and Audi's hard clear coat that made that detail difficult. It looks good nonetheless.

yep, the IP with orange pad was menzerna. This sucks beause other audi owners are asking for a detail as well. Im not sure if i want to anymore. :o

The Porsche was a mess, and its also an germany paint ( hard paint ), i read all the time that PG and PC don´t mix, :rolleyes: .

But if u insist u can do it, just try yellow pad and pg first, do 2 or 3 passes, then follow orange/green pad with ip and finish

with Final Finish with white pad. :xyxthumbs



Im sure u will be amazed by the results, :bow



Akele abraço



ps: did u saw the 911 Turbo thread above????
